The Times says the dign;ied and ps
triotic letter ot the President, withdrawing
his acceptance Of the invitation to visit
ST. Louis during the encampment there
# the Grand Army Of the Republic is
calculated to make that organization
ashamed Of the conduct OF some OF its
coz picucus members. While lie speaks
Of the organization with the utmost
respect and refuses to believe thst il is
responsible fol the unworthy utterRnCes
that have induced him to re
consider his intention of visiting
81. Louis, it is to be feared
the entire incident will tend to lower the
grand army in the esteem and respect of
the country at large. 1t Will not hurt the
President, but there is danger that it will
hurt the organization made up Of veteT-
ans whom the people have every occasion
to honor and every desire TO honor.
The Tribune says: at will be read
with mingled feelings Of Amusement aud
contempt by friends and foes alike The
President has in truth made g bad matter
infinitely worse by refusing TO go to st.

A GEORGIA SENSATION

Senator Brown Wants Pay for Kew Cars.
ATLANTA, GA, June 12.-Yesterdsy' s
developments in the state Legislature
wereIdecidedly sensational. The incident
grew out Of the demand from Senator
JOS E. Brown, president Of the lessees
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
Company, for $4,000, 600 for betterments
The Senator shows that when he took
possession of the road it had but eco in
ferior cars; now it has 400 latest style
cars. The proposition holds good all
the way through. The intimation was
that if the state did not pay
for betterments they would be removed.
EX congressman William II. FELTON,, who
is member Of the Legislature moved ct
once that the Governor be instructed to
serve an Injunction upon Secretary
Brown, and that an attachment be served
upon all eppurteranCes Of the road in
every county through which it passes. A
somewhat similar bill was introduced by
Nj. Huff They were referred TO the
fnsnce committee and VIII be reported
back.

Mr.. Inazo Ota, Of Toxic, Japan, who
is graduate student of the Johns Hop
kins University, is making study of
American newspaper methods. He
says that in Toxic, Japan, which is the
center of the wealth and culture of the
country, there are over twenty daily
newspapers. Most of these are of four
pages, though some are of eight. The
Conservative, Liberal and Radical par
ties have each their organs, and several
papers are also published in the inter-
est of the Christians, towards whom
the Liberals incline. There are also
military, banking and agricultural pa
pers. The papers do not circulate in
Toxic alone, whose population is over
1000, 900, but go all over the rural dis
tricts. where some weekly papers and a
few dailies are printed. Of the Toxic
papers six are published in English, Of
which four Of the editors are Japanese,
one is an: Englishman aad one an

HOW TO JUDGE SHEEP.
Some of the Principal Points Giving Evi
dence Of Good Qualities.

dence of Good Qualities.
Purity of blood is invaluable, espe-
.cially in the male sheep, as he is chiefly
to be relied on when crossing or i'm
proving the breed is desired. The En-
glish downs are considered the best for
producing first-class mutton, while the
merinoes are remembered for producing
the finest wool. The principal points
sought for in seeep are those that give
evidence of their fattening properties; a
straight back, broad loins, roundness
Of body are valuable points. A good
formed animal is one with plenty of
flesh, evenly put on, and as little bone
as possible. The following gives re-
luirements for mutton sheep: Head
moderately fine; nostrils wide; eyes
prominent; ears broad, moderately long,
thin and covered with short hair; collar
full from breast and shoulders, taper
ing gradually all the way to where the
back and head join; neck short, thick
and strong and free from coarse and
loose skin; shoulders broad and full,
and at the same time join so gradually
to the collar forward and the chine
backward as not to leave the least hollow
in either place; fore legs, the mutton on
the arm or fore-thigh should come quite
to the knee; leg with heavy bone and
upright, clear from superhuous skin,
should stand out square and we'll apart;
breast, broad and well forward, keep
ing the legs wide apart; girth or chest,
full and deep; fore flank quite full, not
showing hollow behind shoulder; back
and loin, broad, fiat and straight, from
which the ribs must spring with fine
circular arch. Belly, straight on under
line; quarters, long and full, with NUT
ton quite down to the hook; hook should
stand neither in nor out, but straight;
twist or junction inside the thighs, deep,
wide and full, wife broad breast, will
keep the legs open and upright; the
whole body should be covered with wool,
Of close texture, of good length and
fine quality.-Practical Farmer.

Gle Of diet.-American Dairyn,an.
-Doughnuts: One cup sour milk,
one egg, one cup of sugar, one tea
spoonful of salt, two-thirds teaspoonful
of cinnamon, one tablespoonful of
saleratus, and flour to roll. Roll thin,
cut in rings and fry in very hot lard
Boston Bulletin.
To prevent ivory knife-handles from
being cracked, never let knife-blades
stand in hot water as is sometimes done
to make them wash easily. The heat
expands the steel which runs into the
handle very little and this cracks the
ivory. Knife-handles should never lie
in water. A handsome knife, or one
used for cooking, is easily spoiled in
this way.-Albany Journal.
In common with clay, calcareous
earth possesses the power of making
sandy soils more close and firm, and, in
common with sand, the power of making
clay soils lighter, or more open and
mellow. When sand and clay thus alter
the texture of soils, their operation is
altogether mechanical; but calcareous
earth must exert chemical action in
producing such effects, as its power is
far greater than that of either sand or
clay.-M y Herald.
"A simple "layer cake" is made as
follows: Mix one cup of sugar with
butter the size of an egg, one cup of
milk, one well beaten egg and enough
flour to make a rather stiff batter, sift-
ing one heaping teaspoonful of baking
powder with the flour. Bake in three
layer cake pans. For the filling mix
one cup of sugar with the juice and
grated rind of a lemon, three teaspoon
fuls of corn starch mixed with little
water and cup of hot water. Boil
until thick and spread on the cakes

rice, or corn-meal boiled in milk for the
midday meal, and a full ration of
whole wheat and sound corn late in the
evening. To this diet may be added
during the day, handful of sunfower
seed and hemp seed, which will prove
highly advantageous toward heighten-
ing the color of comb and wattles, and
giving rich gloss to the plumage."
Flour Pudding: One quart of sweet
milk; wet and stir smoothly into a
little of this cold milk six tablespoon
fuls of flour. When the remainder of
the milk boils, stir in this wet flour, boil
ten minutes more and set away to cool
When cold, add the well-beaten yelks

is excellent on plain boiled rice, plain

Cooking Food for Cattle.

Prof. Wallace has been urging the
use of cooked food for cattle. He
quotes the experience of feeder in the
eastern countries who adopted the
system of soaking the fodder with hot
water. The dry fodder, which may be
wheat, barley or oat straw, is chaffed
and laid out in heap on good level
floor, and the concentrated food mixed
with it. Hot water is then thrown over
the pile uutil the water begins to ooze
out at the base. The gentleman referred
to who used wheat and barley straw
fed 10S fat bullocks and So young cattle
for about fifteen weeks on an AVERAGE
The labor was not much increased. and
the boiling of the necessary water took
only about q hundred weight of coal
per week. His report is that he never
had animals do so uniformly we'll.
